Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 415

Huo Jianguang immediately asked someone to light a stick of incense, then he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating and carefully experiencing the benefits of the incense.

Because Li Siniang was not asked to leave, she stood aside and waited quietly.

It was not until a stick of incense had burned out for a long time that Huo Jianguang slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as torches, and he looked at Li Siniang with a satisfied smile.

"Go back and tell your wife that this is really good, very good. Your wife is a capable person!"

After hearing his words, Li Siniang felt relieved instantly. She said a few compliments and then said goodbye.

However, Huo Jianguang asked her to wait, and sent someone to get some valuable things, and sent someone to go to the Xiao family with Li Siniang.

Li Siniang went to the General's Mansion in a carriage with only her and a driver. When she came back, she was followed by two ox carts, which were full of gifts from Huo Jianguang.

Qin Sui was frightened and asked Li Siniang, only to find out that this was something sent by Huo Jianguang. Not to mention the entire gift, even a small part of it would exceed the value of the incense Qin Sui sent.

Spices, cloth, brocade, foreign treasures, and medicinal herbs are not things that can be bought easily.

"Oh" Qin Cui sighed heavily, not knowing what to say!
Among my grandmother's three old friends, one was Mr. Xiansheng. There is no doubt that Mr. Xiansheng treated my grandmother the best and had pure feelings for her without expecting anything in return. After my grandmother passed away, he found a way to avenge her and hid for many years. Only when the storm was over did he find Qin Su and her daughter, and then he stayed by their side under an assumed name to protect them, take care of them, and teach Qin Su carefully.

The other is the Ninth Prince, who also seems affectionate on the surface, but Qin Sui understands that his affection is behind fame, wealth and power. His thoughts are mixed with too many calculations and plans, as well as unwillingness, so they cannot be considered pure. He doesn't even care much about his and Die Ji's daughter, Su.

On the contrary, Huo Jianguang was somewhat interesting. He could have kept his past from Qin Cui, but he did it anyway. He had even been at odds with the Ninth Prince for his entire life because of Die Ji. Now he even wanted to use this method to make up for his guilt towards Die Ji?

This was not the first time that Huo Jianguang had sent gifts, so Qin Su specially made incense in return. But now he sent two large carts of expensive gifts. Judging from Huo Jianguang's expression, he didn't care at all about letting others find out about his relationship with Qin Su's family.

After all, his concerns were much fewer and purer than those of the Ninth Prince.

"I'll go see my mother. You keep these things separately and take good care of them!" After Qin Cui instructed Li Siniang, she went to see Su.

Su was making a dress for her younger daughter in the pavilion in the yard. When she saw her eldest daughter coming, she hurriedly asked someone to bring her tea, and asked her with a smile how she had the time to come here.
Qin Sui sat down and first looked at the child's clothes in her mother's hands. There was a small forsythia embroidered on it.

"Mom, just let the people in the embroidery room do it. Why do you have to do it yourself? Your eyes will be sore and your back will ache soon."

After giving birth to her little daughter, Su's health was not very good. She would feel sore in her back and waist after sitting for a long time, so Qin Sui said this.

"How can you be so spoiled?" Su looked at her eldest daughter with a smile. She really felt that the present life was like a dream. "Your clothes and shoes were made by your mother from childhood to adulthood. As for your sister, I didn't make all of them, but I made as much as I could. Otherwise, she will be jealous of you when she grows up."

Qin Sui couldn't help laughing and said a few more words. The maid brought tea and Qin Sui asked them all to leave as she wanted to talk to her mother alone for a while.

Su put down her needle and thread and waited earnestly for Qin Sui to speak.

"Mother, on the fifteenth of this month, how about we go to Baoguo Temple to light a lamp for grandma and perform a ritual?"

"Ah? Why did you suddenly think of your grandmother?" Su was a little surprised. She never expected that Qin Cui was talking about this.

"I feel that, although mother did not receive personal care and instruction from grandmother, we also received a lot of care and influence from her!" Qin Shi then told Su about her husband, the Ninth Prince, and Huo Jianguang. After listening to her, Su was stunned and burst into tears.

There are some things she knows, but there are many things she doesn't know.

"Why are you suddenly telling me this?" Su asked Qin Sui after wiping away her tears.

"Because, I suddenly realized that I hid the truth from you because I thought it was for your own good. But, I suddenly thought, maybe, knowing everything about my biological mother is what you really want, right?"

Su didn't say anything, just kept silent with her eyelashes slightly lowered.

Qin Sui held her mother's hand and found that her hand was shaking: "Mom, remember grandma, miss her, and worship her. This is probably the only proof that she has ever been in this world."

"Alas!" Su let out a long, heavy breath, raised her eyes and looked at Qin Su, saying: "Besides your grandmother, there is also your husband, he, ah!"

Another sigh. Su was not good at speaking. She could only sigh and sigh again, turning all her emotions into tears.

"I want to meet General Huo. Although I have met him once before, you only said that he was an old acquaintance of my mother, but did not mention such a relationship. Just because he cares about my mother and has done so many things for her, I should go and visit him in person to thank him!"

Qin Cui nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll go with my mother tomorrow!"

After crying, Su felt much more open-minded. In fact, she had always felt excluded by her family. They were doing this for her own good, but she just felt lonely and depressed in her heart, but she couldn't even express it.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow!"

After Sun Jifei drove the carriage out of the city, Yao Zhuer also lifted the window curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside.

In fact, like most girls in the boudoir, she seldom went out, and the few times she did go out were to burn incense.

She had not known before that a family like theirs did not need to keep their daughter secluded from the public. It was only after she got married and heard people mention it that she realized that her childhood was not normal.

So, looking at the lush greenery, flowers, birds, water, sunshine and shade along the way, her uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

Sun Jifei spoke very little, and Yao Zhuer was not a talkative person either. The two of them remained silent all the way, but they did not feel awkward. Instead, they felt somewhat self-consistent.

We followed people along the way and finally arrived at a town not far from Wujia Village.

The sun was setting at this time. Sun Jifei thought for a moment and took Yao Zhuer to the only inn, where they settled down and ate something. He let Yao Zhuer rest for a night and wash up before going to visit her parents and brothers the next day.

But Yao Zhuer was so worried that she was absent-minded while eating.

Sun Jifei saw what she was thinking and felt helpless. He asked the shopkeeper about the situation in Wujia Village and learned that it was not far away and that they could arrive there soon by horse-drawn carriage.

So, Sun Jifei suggested going to Wujia Village after eating. Yao Zhuer's eyes lit up, she nodded quickly, stuffed something into her mouth, and stood up to leave.
